Xi'an

Known as Chang'an ancient times. Xi'an served as a capital city for 11 dynaxties on and off for a total period of 1,100 years, longer than any other ancient capital in China.

During the Han and Tang dynasties (206B.C. -907) Chang'an was the political, economic and cultural center of China and an international metropolis where Chinese and Western cultures met. While maintaining its ancient facade, Xi'an has also demonstrated vitality and modernity. The city is a must on the Silk Road Tour.
